Your Story, Translated Into Musical Medicine
Transmute your deepest wounds and patterns with a custom medicine song tuned to resonate with your deepest personal truths. This signature container is a two-part therapeutic journey where your story, stuck thought patterns, and desired healing are woven into a bespoke acoustic song. You don't need any musical or songwriting ability—you simply show up and share your heart, and I translate your journey into song.
How the Journey Unfolds
-
1. The 60-Minute Brainstorming Call: We meet on Zoom to explore your needs and intentions. Together, we unpack your story and gather the core themes, metaphors, and feelings that will shape your song.
-
2. Creative Crafting & Hook Selection: After our call, I will follow the muse and write your song on acoustic guitar. If multiple hook or chorus ideas emerge, I may send over a few short voice memos so you can choose the direction that resonates most deeply. Writing may take up to 7-10 days to complete.
-
3. Raw Acoustic Demo & Revisions: I record a live, raw acoustic demo (guitar/drum and unedited vocal) and send it with your lyric sheet. You receive 1 round of lyric revisions to ensure every word feels fully aligned.
-
4. The 60-Minute Integration Call: Once the lyrics are locked, we meet on Zoom to review the song, debrief the emotional shift, and sing the song together to anchor its healing energy into your body.
What’s Included
-
Two live 1-on-1 Zoom sessions (Brainstorming + Integration Call).
-
Custom song composition and lyric writing anchored in acoustic guitar (or buffalo drum).
-
1 round of lyric revisions included.
-
Raw live acoustic audio recording + printable PDF lyric sheet.
Optional Upgrade: Polished Multi-Track Audio ($500)
-
Base Package ($800): Includes a raw, unedited live acoustic recording (single take voice and guitar/drum). It is intimate, real, and captures the raw spirit of the session.
-
Polished Multi-Track Upgrade (+$500): If you prefer a refined audio file for daily listening, this upgrade adds studio polish. I re-record the guitar tracks for enhanced clarity, tune and polish the lead vocals, and lay down 1–2 subtle accent layers (such as a second acoustic guitar line, backing vocal harmonies, or grounding buffalo drum rhythm).
Client Testimonial
"It feels like you are speaking directly from my soul" - Ed
Hi, my name is Nicholas Penn and the intersection of songwriting and personal healing has been the main focus of my life. I personally use song as my main method for healing and transformation. I've witnessed time and time again its ability to rewire thought patterns, heal emotional wounds, and put me back in touch with my deepest truth.
I have developed a method for consistently writing powerful songs by combining intuition with a time-tested process. I offer this as a way to hold space for what you are going through in your life, and to give you the opportunity to give yourself the words you need to hear in the form of a song. We can go any number of directions including infusing the song with comedy and humor to lighten the vibe.
You don't need to worry if you aren't good with words or you're not a good singer. Words and lyrics are my specialty, with 25+ years of experience writing and composing on guitar. I love to work with different genres and find the perfect sound and chords that resonate with the emotional essence of the idea. This is a muscle that I've used so much that it's become second nature to me, so much so that songwriting feels more like channeling than anything else.
It would be an honor to work with you and hold space for your healing journey.
Peace,
Nicholas Penn
How to Prepare for Your Call
-
Find a Quiet, Private Space: Ensure you are in an environment where you feel safe to speak openly, process emotions, or shed tears.
-
Bring a Journal or Notebook: Have a space to jot down any specific words or phrases that hold deep personal meaning for you.
-
No Preparation Required: You do not need to write lyrics or organize your thoughts in advance—showing up as you are is all that is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I give this as a gift to a loved one?
-
Yes. You can purchase the container for someone else, and they will receive a digital welcome kit with instructions on how to schedule their initial Discovery Call.
-
-
How do rights and ownership work?
-
Your Medicine Song is created for your personal healing, daily integration, and private use. Nicholas retains the songwriting and performance copyright, ensuring your personal story remains a protected, sacred work of art.
-
-
What if I need more than one round of lyric revisions?
-
The vast majority of clients feel complete after the first round of tweaks. If you desire additional compositional or lyric changes beyond the included revision, additional rounds can be added at an hourly rate.
